Attendance & Holidays

• All students must make every effort to attend all lessons, including PSHCCE.
• Doctor’s, dentist appointments and driving lessons should be made during free periods.
• Students whose attendance regularly falls below 90% may be asked to leave the Sixth Form.
• Parents will be informed by letter if their son/daughter’s attendance falls below 90%.
• Students who arrive more than ten minutes late may be asked to leave the lesson, and will be marked as absent.
• Students are registered electronically every lesson and an attendance summary is produced for tutors every week. Parents can request a copy of their son/daughter’s attendance summary at any time.
• Students must register with their tutor once a day. This is essential for effective communication with students for the passing on of exam information. In the first half-term, Year 12 students must register twice a day.
• Students or their parents should ring the School on the first day of any absence, or a note can be written by parents prior to any planned absence.
• If a student knows they are going to be absent, they should inform the teacher whose lessons they are going to miss beforehand and ensure that they copy up all relevant work they miss, including homework.
  

HOLIDAYS

Holidays should be avoided in term time, but especially during January (exams) and March – mid July due to coursework deadlines and examinations and the start of A2 courses for Year 12 Level 3 students. We will only authorise absence for holidays in exceptional circumstances.

A holiday form should be completed and handed in to the tutor prior to a holiday of two days or more
